Does Switzerland follow the GDPR?

No. Switzerland has its own revised Federal Act on Data Protection, in force since September 2023. It is similar in spirit to the GDPR but follows an opt-out logic for many activities and fines individuals rather than companies.

Are cookie banners required in Switzerland?

The Swiss law does not require opt-in cookie consent in the same way as the EU, but a clear privacy notice is expected, and consent is needed for sensitive data and profiling. Many sites use GDPR-style banners to cover EU visitors.

Privolitev za piškotke v državi Schweiz / Suisse / Svizzera

Privolitev in varstvo podatkov v državi Schweiz / Suisse / Svizzera

Switzerland is outside the EU and applies its own revised Federal Act on Data Protection, in force since September 2023, overseen by the FDPIC. A key difference from the GDPR is that Swiss fines target responsible individuals rather than companies and are capped at 250,000 Swiss francs. The revFADP follows an opt-out logic for many processing activities, which means cookie consent is generally less strict than under the GDPR, although consent is still needed for sensitive data and profiling. Privacy notices are expected and the law applies extraterritorially to processing affecting people in Switzerland. Many Swiss sites still adopt GDPR-style banners to cover EU visitors.
